Russia Prioritizes Sustainable Peace In Ukraine Instead Of Ceasefire

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at Wednesday's press conference Russia prioritized lasting and sustainable peace in Ukraine rather than a ceasefire.

This was conveyed by Peskov commenting on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's statement about Kyiv's readiness to establish an "energy ceasefire."

"We are working on peace, not a ceasefire," Peskov told TASS (10/12).

"The continuous, lasting and lasting peace achieved through the signing of documents on this issue is an absolute priority," added Peskov.

Earlier, President Zelensky said Ukraine was working on a proposal for an energy ceasefire with Russia, and made it clear he expects Moscow to implement the mechanism.

Meanwhile, Kyiv appears to have forgotten the moratorium on attacks on Russia's own energy facilities in the spring.

Although Russia has suspended attacks on locations that supply fuel and energy to Kyiv forces, the Ukrainian armed forces are targeting infrastructure facilities in at least 15 Russian regions.
